Ziltepad - Etappe Oosterland - Stroe

This route takes you through Hollands Kroon, a beautiful region in North Holland home to villages such as Den Oever and Wieringerwaard. You will enjoy beautiful vistas and the former island of Wieringen.

Cycling through a landscape with open polders, abundant water, dikes, reed beds, arable fields, meadows, polder forests, and a former island.

Discover the eastern side of Hollands Kroon on an unforgettable cycling route. History is reflected everywhere in the landscape. Cycle through the vast Wieringermeerpolder, past sturdy pumping stations, picturesque villages, and historic dikes.

The MUZ cycle route largely runs along the edges of the former island. After all, it was there that the battle against the water had to be fought and the connection with the hinterland established. The traces left behind by the construction of the Zuiderzee Works can be found primarily here; the monuments that form part of Wieringen's turbulent history.

For a long time, Wieringen was the smallest Wadden Island, about ten kilometers long and two to three kilometers wide. After the closure of sea inlets, the reclamation of the Wieringermeer, and the construction of the Afsluitdijk, the island became encapsulated within the mainland.
